Fan Faire 05. - 08. August 2010 in Las Vegas

[Imrahil]

Well, would still be 800 Euros + the cheap air line, not counting how much fun it is to do that .

I am confident that I will find something suitable, but thanks for the info

My conclusion is that so far in advance only the standard flights are listed and no discounts, so I myself will wait till around May until finally booking the flight.

Or it could be that its just cheaper to visit places in May when most families cant travel due to children being in school whereas August is very much a peak holiday time when airlines can charge what they like...How much would it cost you to book now and fly in September for instance?

General consensus online seems to be buy as soon as you can.

Hard to properly calculate cost from the UK yet without proper dates but a London > Vegas > Frisco > London or London > Frisco > Vegas > London trip around end of July/August is costing £1,000-£1,100 at the moment, double what it cost for last years trip and that doesnt include more expensive rooms due to Pinky not sharing!

I dont really see the point in visiting Frisco both before and after Vegas, its a 'wasted' day of the holiday travelling. I'd either go somewhere else or spend longer in Frisco in the first instance.

Ye but that is by having to spend the stupid night wherever the first plane stops on the way out and in as well. So kind of sucks. A direct connection flight is up there to 1000 pound too from londonm to sf and form sf to london. Ideally you would wanna fly london-sf and vegas-london or the other way around anyway which is even more.

[Imrahil]

Point about SF both times is that it normally is cheaper to go to Sf than to vegas from Germany (dunno about UK), other than that I would prefer not going back and forth either.

Could maybe also take a flight to SF, then go to Vegas same day with normal flight or such, I will chedk out a few alternatives the next days.

Booked hotel room 4-9th - researching flights atm.

Guessing most go for a platinum pass or is there a group guild discount like i remember for previous years ?

We always take All Area access. The group discount is refunded later on if you get any, so don't worry about it when ordering.

[Klorch Bashlight]

Omg guys, we will finally meet Koyoti HIMSELF !

*bounce around like an excited fool*

Do you think he drinks coffee ?

[Scarz/Obsqura]

I said the last two years that I would go, but ended up not going. This year, I guarantee that I will go. I have frequent flyer miles and will use them for Las Vegas, so there is no excuse not to go!

Anyone want to split a hotel room so it's cheaper? I'll most likely arrive on the 5th and leave on the 9th.

[Kikthin]

Koyo and Obs coming?

Man, I'm going to have another chat with my boss for sure. =/

[Imrahil]

This sounds like fun indeed.

So far no info regarding group discount, but I will try to find out. If we are close to 10, I am sure we can find a few more (Vmas always likes exclusive stuff!)
